When I looked at this last August, bing.vc was a site operated by Beijing MSYT Technology Co., and had no relationship with Bing from Microsoft.

In a thread on another forum, they had to go to extraordinary lengths to remove the malware that keeps modifying the system: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=14290001#p14290001

You could try the standard scanning/cleaning tools in our support article "Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware". If those do not work, you could try the malware cleanup forums listed in the article.
